As you may have noticed, the weather is miserable today with rain, hail, sleet and snow at various periods throughout the day.
Drivers are urged to take extra care as the above conditions can lead to accumulations of ice on untreated surfaces.
It’s also very chilly in some areas so if you’re commuting later this evening, wrap up warm. We’ve said it before but we’ll say it again, be careful out there folks.
